A couple of the largest phone shops in the UK have stopped stocking Google and LG's sweet Nexus 4, with both Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4U no longer listing it. This has led people who like to think about things to think it means a Nexus 5 launch at next week's Google I/O event is practically guaranteed. Read More >>

Got £16.50, a desperate desire to re-use garbage, and questionable taste? With Satechi's new Touch USB LED lamp you can transform an empty soda bottle, wine bottle, even a water bottle into a warm desktop companion free of pesky switches. Read More >>

Every wondered what Google Glass looks like from the perspective of an actual user and outside of Google's glossy, posed promotional videos? That's what you get in this user review video, where a man in possession of the expensive voyeur peripheral sticks a camera up to the lens and gives us a wearer's-eye view of the action. Read More >>

After confirming the existence of the fabled Lumia 928 in an advert yesterday, it's decided to show you what its latest flagship can do, pitting it in a low-light fight with the iPhone 5 and Galaxy SIII... totally unbiased, of course. Read More >>

Samsung threw the kitchen sink at the Galaxy S4, landing it with more software bloat features than you can shake a stick at. Unfortunately, S Voice slows down your home button, making it appear laggy when it totally shouldn't. Unless you actually use it regularly, simply disable that sucker to get back that zippy feel.

Google Glass is weird. It's not quite like anything we've seen before. It's the best. It's the worst. It's polarising. This picture of a Google Glass-wearing tube-rider showed up on Twitter yesterday, and sparked a Buzzfeed article that posits Glass will just bring on more of the distraction it claims to alleviate.

It looks like HTC took a look at these awesome colourful renders from the other week, and decided it would be a great idea to spice up the One with a splash of red. It's not quite as bright as the concept renders, but at least this one is real -- well, if retailer Handtec can be believed, anyway. Read More >>
Nobody's perfect. Some people Skype without a headset in public. Others insists on using Internet Explorer. Some weirdos even use Comic Sans without flinching. But what's your grubbiest tech confession? We're all friends here, so let it out. It'll be cathartic. I promise. Read More >>
Honestly reviewing morse code is a little unnecessary. We're kind of done with that whole telegraph as the primary form of communication phase. On the other hand, it never hurts to know numbers in different systems. Roman numerals come in handy every now and then, right? Sometimes? Read More >>
Beautiful design isn't good design, and even the prettiest gadgets can still suck. But all that said, there's something to be said for devices that are just easy on the eyes, and if they're good too, that's a bonus. What's the prettiest gadget you've got hanging around. Or, if you're living in a trash-heap or something, what's the prettiest one you aspire to someday own? Read More >>

Breitling's original Emergency watch first launched back in 1995 and was able to broadcast a distress signal on the 121.5 MHz analog band allowing ships, planes, and other vehicles to track it. But if your approximate location wasn't already known, it made locating the signal a bit tricky. So Breitling is introducing an upgraded version of the watch—the Emergency II—that adds the ability to send a distress signal to satellites circling overhead, so no matter where on Earth you're lost, you can be found.

If Braun's ET66 calculator looks oddly familiar, like you've used it before, you probably have. Originally released in 1987, the ET66 shed the sliding switches of its predecessors, the ET22 released in 1976 and the ET44 released in 1978, and became an icon of product design. So much so that the iPhone's original calculator app was basically a rip-off of the ET66's design. As Steve Jobs liked to say: good artists copy, great artists steal. Read More >>
